Abstract
The use of perfluorochemical (PFC) emulsions to study the myocardial circulation by means of ^19^F NMR requires that the biodistribution of the PFC be known. The authors tested the hypothesis that PFC particles remain within the myocardial vascular space by infusing rats with both a PFC emulsion and ^125^Iβalbumin. Measurement of myocardial vascular volume by ^19^F NMR and by standard radiotracer analysis of the same tissue yielded concordant values by the two methods, establishing the PFC emulsion as an intravascular agent in this tissue. Perfluorochemical emulsions should be useful for the noninvasive study of myocardial vascular physiology by magnetic resonance.

In this study sequential 1H and 19F magnetic resonance imaging methods were used to map the distribution of fluorinated compounds in vivo. An intravenously administered emulsion of perfluorooctylbromide (PFOB), an agent known to localize in the reticuloendothelial system, was detected in the liver a
